Do you put your Country first or your belief above all else?

Question

What is your country?

The country of your origin or the country where your belief originated.

Answer 1

First we all are HUMAN.

Answer 2

The concept of country is very similar to the concept of God.  You are introduced to God by someone , parents , partner  , friends or simply people whom you adore and  respect. You see your God through them .

Our country is also like that . . We know whee we are standing is our own country  , our motherland.. But our love and liking for our country is based on the value systems  we have looking at the people we know. As an Indian one will see Gandhi as the reference point . Mandela for a southafrican. Loncoln for the Americans.  But there unfortunately many many countries where its people will not identify with their soil. This is due to tyranny, oppression and  immorality, Such people cannot put country first.

History also tells us important lessons . Vietnam was a country driven by its people   due to their love for their counry. China is greated motivated  country.

Finally,   belief system can undergo changes . But  not the  country. It is eternal.

Answer 3

I put my beliefs above all else.  That is the only way to avoid hypocrisy and to be true to myself.

Answer 4

God first, always.  USA.

Answer 5

Country is just another word for collective.

Belief is just another word for self.

This question and any answers to it are proof that the individual comes first - otherwise how does this question get answered to begin with?

Any answers that follow are statements of beliefs from individuals.

Anybody that offers an answer here is putting themself first.

Each individual decides their own beliefs, including the belief of whether collective or self should come first.

The collective will always put itself first.

So who is that will put the individual you first if not you?

Answer 7

   My right foot first...one must trust in ones own self before relying on the next. My country means a lot but what is my country...my country is not a piece of land or a political group, my country is my kinsman...my neighbors...the men and women that make up any great nation. When one stands up for them...and they stand up for you...it's their you'll find my God.....in any land...in any language.

Answer 8

well, ur beliefs are related to the place where u live , like I'm an INDIAN, so i believe in the institution of marriage, family bonding(joint family) , and other such common social beliefs(not the evil ones)

so beliefs are coined according to the place where u reside , therefore COUNTRY FIRST. coz if i wouldn't have been an Indian , may be my beliefs wouldn't have been the same.
